I hope you enjoyed the long weekend. Having an extra day to sleep in is always nice.
I am a tad late getting this out, but hopefully it will find you by Monday morning.
As you probably saw, report cards went home Friday. Thank you for returning those in the weekly folder on Monday.
We will not test in SS on The Revolution until next Monday. We will be finishing up in class this week, and the kids will hopefully bring home their study on on Wed. of this week. They are welcome to bring home their SS book (there is one online too), and read over chapter 9. The test is straight from the material in chapter 9. I would recommend looking over it for about 15 minutes each night. It is a lot of material, so small amounts of review at a time will be helpful.
We have started out unit on Fractions. The division tests have been posted on the parent portal, but I can not send them home yet due to test make ups. They will be sent home when all students in the 4th grade have tested. I am going to try and break the fractions test into two parts, so the first part will probably be early next week, probably on Tuesday. This is an indepth unit, as students will be comparing fractions with unlike denominators, reducing fractions, converting from mixed number to improper fractions, and lots more.
In writing we have been working on persuasive writing, which has carried over to our reading lessons on author's purpose. We will be working on adjectives this week.
Don't forget to check the school's website for important school related events.
Have a great week!
